Sources: 8. Developments: 2. Following a devastating wildfire in Los Gallardos, Almería, which burned approximately 5,200 hectares and caused 15 deaths, political leaders in Andalusia have called for a formal investigation. María Jesús Montero of the PSOE-A criticized the regional government’s response, asserting that “it is evident that the initial operation and the coordination of the Junta de Andalucía failed in the first hours of the fire.” She noted that victims' families are seeking a transparent and exhaustive inquiry. Expanding on this demand, the Andalusian PSOE has urged the People's Party (PP) to support the creation of an investigative commission in the regional parliament. This initiative seeks to examine the causes of major summer forest fires, specifically citing the severity of the Los Gallardos and Niebla incidents. While regional officials have offered to report to parliament on summer fires, the opposition maintains that such measures are insufficient without a formal commission to ensure transparency and prevent future recurrences. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-14: Andalusian PSOE demands investigation into summer forest fires The Andalusian PSOE is demanding an investigative commission in the regional parliament to probe the causes of major summer forest fires, including those in Los Gallardos and Niebla. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/andalusian-psoe-demands-investigation-into-summer-forest-fires ### 2026-09-08: Montero demands investigation into deadly Los Gallardos wildfire María Jesús Montero has demanded an investigation into the Los Gallardos wildfire in Almería, which killed 15 people and burned 5,200 hectares, citing failures in regional coordination. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/montero-demands-investigation-into-deadly-los-gallardos-wildfire --- Cite as: Andalusian wildfire investigation demands.
